Book Review: Beastly Crochet

Monday, October 27, 2014

In this
unusual collection of scary crochet goodness, there are six chapters broken
down as:

Classic Monsters

Welcome to the Jungle

Skulls Were People, Too

Myths (and Other True Stories)

Silly Monsters, and

My Own Personal Robot

But
these are not merely all stuffed toys. There are hats, pillows, bags, scarves,
hair ornaments, slippers and sweaters.

The last chapter, Special Topics, includes how to assure that your
projects come out seriously cute, installing zippers and finishing techniques.

All of the instructions are written, without charts. My favorite of all is the
Tiki Head Bolster. I picture it looking quite beastly, sitting in my favorite
armchair.
